Linkshell Member online notifications.

[Kaisha]

There are people who don't say "'ello LS" when they log on?

[Meyi]

I don't want this, but if other players feel it would be a huge benefit to playing then I won't argue against it.

Hey everyone

While this kind of thing would be possible, there are more than likely a good amount of people who do not want others to know when they equip a LS or come online, so we would need to give consideration to these players. Again, while this is technically possible this would be somewhat low on the priority scale at the moment, including how to give consideration to those players who would not like this sort of feature.

Why wouldn't they want people to know when they come online or equip their linkshell unless they're doing something shady...?

All that would need to be done is to show or not show notifications based on online status. e.g. if you're set to invisible, don't trigger or recieve notifications.

The same reason messengers have an Away/Busy/Online/Appear Offline/Invisible (to some/all) status, some people just like their privacy and don't want to be bothered when they get on.

Then why do they log on to a linkshell? You may want to sign on to a messenger without being seen to talk to some select people, but you can do that in XI without being in a linkshell too. The only reason to be on a linkshell is to talk to the people, or are you secretely spying on people and hope they don't check the LS list to see you online? I really don't get it.

because i log in to check my plants and the ls message every single day, but i can only pretend to like "you" so often.

They would receive the info about you being in the shell in the chat featue.... So about about a Chat filter for it or something?

[Zerich]

or how about people look at who's in their ls by checking the ls?
camate, please don't waste time on stuff that isn't broken or needed.
